a. 24 volts at the thermostat Y1 terminal
b. Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2
c. Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB.
8.
If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal, the
compressor may be out due to an open high-pressure
switch, low-pressure switch, or freezestat. Check for 24
volts at the HPS1, LPS1, and FS1 terminals of the UCB. If
a switch has opened, there should be a voltage potential
between the UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS1 has opened, there
will be a 24-volt potential between the LPS1 terminals.
9.
If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the protection switches have opened, the UCB may have
locked out the compressor for repeat trips. The UCB
should be flashing an alarm code. If not, press and release
the ALARMS button on the UCB. The UCB will flash the
last five alarms on the LED. If the compressor is locked
out, cancel any call for cooling. This will reset any
compressor lock outs.
NOTE:
While the above step will reset any lockouts, the
compressor may be held off for the ASCD. See the next
step.
10. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the switches are open and the compressor is not locked
out, the UCB may have the compressor in an ASCD.
Check the LED for an indication of an ASCD cycle. The
ASCD should time out within 5 minutes. Press and release
the TEST button to reset all ASCDs.
11. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and the
compressor is not out due to a protective switch trip, repeat
trip lock out, or ASCD, the economizer terminals of the
UCB may be improperly wired. Check for 24 volts at the Y1
“OUT” terminal of the UCB. If 24 volts is present, trace the
wiring from Y1 “OUT” for incorrect wiring. If 24 volts is not
present at the Y1 “OUT” terminal, the UCB must be
replaced.
12.
For units without economizers
: If 24 volts is present at the
Y1 OUT terminal, check for 24 volts at the Y1 “ECON”
terminal. If 24 volts is not present, check for loose wiring
from the Y1 “OUT” terminal to the Mate-N-Lock plug, the
jumper in the Mate-N-Lock plug, and in the wiring from the
Mate-N-Lock plug to the Y1 “ECON” terminal.
13.
For units with economizers
: If 24 volts is present at the Y1
“OUT” terminal, check for 24 volts at the Y1 “ECON”
terminal. If 24 volts is not present, check for loose wiring
from the Y1 “OUT” terminal to the Mate-N-Lock plug, a
poor connection between the UCB and economizer Mate-
N-Lock plugs, loose wiring from the Mate-N-Lock plug to
the economizer, back to the Mate-N-Lock plug, and from
the Mate-N-Lock plug to the Y1 “ECON” terminal. If nothing
is found, the economizer DME may have faulted and is
failing to return the 24-volt “call” to the Y1 “ECON” terminal
even though the economizer is not providing free cooling.
To test, disconnect the Mate-N-Locks and jumper between
the WHITE and YELLOW wires of the UCB’s Mate-N-Lock
plug. If the compressor energizes, there is a fault in the
economizer wiring or DME.
14. The UCB can be programmed to lock out compressor
operation during free cooling and in low ambient
conditions. These options are not enabled by default. Local
distributors can test the UCB for this programming.
For units with factory installed economizers, the UCB is
programmed to lock out compressor operation when the
LAS set point is reached.
For units without factory installed or with field installed
economizers, the UCB allows compressor operation all the
time. This programming can be checked or changed by the
local distributor.
15. If none of the above corrected the error, test the integrity of
the UCB. Disconnect the C1 terminal wire and jumper it to
the Y1 terminal. DO NOT jump the Y1 to C1 terminals. If
the compressor engages, the UCB has faulted.
16. If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
GAS HEAT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Troubleshooting of components may require
opening the electrical control box with the power
connected to the unit.
Use extreme care when
working with live circuits!
Check the unit name-
plate for the correct line voltage and set the volt-
meter to the correct range before making any
connections with line terminals.
When not necessary, shut off all electric power to
the unit prior to any of the following maintenance
procedures so as to prevent personal injury.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation, which could cause
injury to person and/or damage unit components.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
